Mozes, Inc. Powers Live Mobile Voting for The NewTeeVee Pier Screenings Summer Series

PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Mozes, Inc. (http://www.mozes.com), a Palo Alto company that allows anyone to create and manage interactive mobile campaigns, promotions or events, today announced their partnership with GigaOM and NewTeeVee.com to power the live, mobile voting of the NewTeeVee Pier Screenings Summer Series.

"We're happy to be partnering with GigaOM to support their live, mobile voting during their events," said Irv Remedios, VP of Products and Marketing for Mozes. "Our role is to provide the most effective way for GigaOM to reach and connect with their audience in innovative and powerful ways."

The NewTeeVee Pier Screenings are a live extension of NewTeeVee.com, showcasing online video technology and content in an outdoor movie screening format. Community-chosen selections of the best web videos from the Pier Screenings website (http://screenings.newteevee.com) will be projected on a large outdoor screen on a beautiful pier along San Francisco's waterfront.

This month's theme -- the fourth in the series -- is "Citizen News." Audience members vote via their mobile phones for the best citizen news video submissions. Audience members text the title of the movie to 66937 (spells Mozes) to cast their vote for the video of their choice. Votes are tabulated in real-time and the winner is revealed at the close of tonight's live event.

"Voting during the event is key to the live experience at the NewTeeVee Pier Screenings. Live voting makes the event more interactive and innovative," said Joanne Wan, GigaOM's Manager of Business Operations. "Given that anyone with a mobile phone can vote easily and instantly makes our job easier and Mozes the natural choice to work with."

Metacafe will promote the top three audience winners from the live event on its front page. This will help content creators get exposure as well as some dough -- the company pays $5 for every 1,000 page views. The first-place winner will receive 7 days of promotional rotation on the Metacafe front page, the second-place winner will receive 4 days, and the third-place winner, one day.
